Could a simple stool be the key to better bathroom habits?
NCT ID NCT02877394
Summary
This study is testing whether using a footstool to change your posture on the toilet can help relieve constipation. Researchers at Mayo Clinic are comparing a 7-inch footstool to a shorter, 2-inch sham device to see which one better improves bowel movement frequency and symptoms. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can make going to the bathroom easier for people with chronic constipation.
